The parking lot at Eastside Community Ministry was packed as volunteers passed out produce and other groceries. Interim Director Anna Marie Katt said the items were donated by the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

"The only qualification is that they have to sign a sheet that has an income guideline," said Katt. "They can take as much food for as many people in the household."

Katt said it's a great way for families to put nutritious meals on the table. This is the first time Eastside Community Ministry has held the event.

"We have to take a deep breath, but it's been a fun day," said Katt. "Luckily, the weather held up, because it's hot, but at least we didn't get any rain, so that's good. I think we would certainly consider doing it again."
